Misere

Very humorous photo and a perfect title; it sums up the subject very well.

I suspect it might be possible to get a better view of the tree though; it's quite soft and very grainy. I can't comment on settings as you've not listed equipment and exif data, but suspect you could perhaps improve this by revisiting it, perhaps when there's better light, or by using different technique...

Mark I agree, could be better, not exactly the gloom I had hoped for. Now if I could only remember which trail I was on...

The grainy is  not a problem IMO,your eye and observation, as well as the title, really has merit...!

Ha, unlikely to be repeatable then! It's still a great photo, lovely mood and perfect title, it's actually grown on me quite a bit since I commented last...

Pnina, Mark, I appreciate you taking the time on this. Thanks.
